TracyK

Good morning violets!! Macy is gone and it is quiet as a mouse around here. I am jealous that terri is going to Gruene (or close to it) again this weekend. I am going to get up and do something today....not sure what but I will do something! Maybe go get a little cash and go play some nickel slots? Hmmm, there is a thought. Maybe I oughtta just save the gas and play my video slots on my laptop...lol. I don't know. Have a great day everyone!

Hershey? Did someone say HERSHEY? YUMMMYUM! Jane-I am not having any trouble getting on the site. I wonder why you are having a hard time... Judy-wow-sirens for the warning....YIKES that would scare the dog mess out of me! Do they blast for long? Haydee-I have no idea where to meet. I am looking forward to it though! TracyinKS-YAY for no cast!!! What a relief, right?! Pamela-Funyuns and cottage cheese??....um....are we preggo? Have a great night violets!!!

Hi everyone! I am tired...I have a headache...I have the munchies... Pray for me... Freedom Countdown.....29

Good morning violets!! All of this Palm Springs stuff is making me get the itch!! LOL about all sleeping in pams closet! Who knows, maybe I could get a free ticket from my sis in law to fly there....hmmm, something to think about! :thumbup: Pam-could you get your MIL to cook us some really good food? lol OK, gotta go to work. I think I will make myself a countdown for work days ticker.....

Hi violets!! Jenn-good to see you! Sounds like yu have a full plate and that you are loving it! I am so glad for you. Judy-I am glad I made the decision to stay home too. Really after looking at the numbers it was the only thing that made sense...but I am happy it worked out this way Terri-wow, you do wanna go on a trip soon don'tcha? Bad enough to crash TracyinKS trip...lol Terri & Haydee-weekdays for me it would have to be either lunch or early dinner cause of macy. After July 3rd I will have loads more time :smile: TracyinKS-whatcha up to? OK....someone come over here and get this can of whipped cream away from me........ Have a good evening violets!

Laura-I hear what you are saying but be careful...I thought that too and woke up 17 pounds heavier. Just some caring advice from your roomie Trust me on this one thing...keep getting on the scales regularly, because it will keep you aware! If you stay away from the scales it is a disaster waiting to happen. I don't want you to have to battle losing weight that you have already lost once...that is what I (and others) are doing now and it SUCKS! Pamela-I wish I would have been awake to call you! I hope someone "reached out and touched" ya! lol Good morning violets! I am still on a high knowing I will be a fulltime mom soon! Where is Jenn and Michelle? Have a super duper day everyone!! :eek:

Thanks Terri and by the way...I live close enough to take you up on the drink offer Congratulations!!! Thanks Jane!

Good morning violets- Pamela-Bob Green was impressed with a 17 pound weight loss in a year for someone that quit smoking? OK, I wonder what the stats are for someone banded that quits?! Guys, I have talked to dh about this and it has been really working on my mind and heart. I have done & redone the math and I realized that I am working for nothing. Let me try to explain it better...after my car, gas, insurance, and day care, I literally make no money. I have been kicking this thought around for a while. I go to work to pay for a "ride" to work. I am accomplishing nothing, my job sucks, they do not respect me or the time I have put in. My lifelong dream has been to be a wife & mother. I have been giving that up for nothing. I was crying every day because I am letting someone else raise my daughter while I was at work accomplishing NOTHING money wise! I was becoming someone I can not stand personality wise. I stay depressed. So my question to myself is, am I willing to give up my car (the only thing I was working for anyway) to be able to fulfill my dream of being a stay at home mom and the answer is YES. I will just get an "in case of emergency" car and pay cash for it. The part that worried me the most was if dh would be behind me. Well, after I explained it to him and he saw what I saw he said he is behind me 110%. WHEW! I need to find out if dd school bus comes by here and if it does I will be able to turn in my notice really soon. If not it will be more like September. But, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Have a great day everyone....I know I will for the first time in a very long time (except for Gruene)

OH..OH...I know!! Do I smell a violet baby shower in the future?

Pamela-I am so proud that you have gone almost a YEAR without smoking! Way to go....there is no going back now!

Laura-thanks for making me tear up!! *sniff* I think you should have one now...that can be our next violet trip....coming to see our new little violet!!!

I bought myself a hat...as for macy...I would not be able to keep one on her head...espcially in a pool

Good morning everyone! I slept like a log last night and so did Macy. All that exercise and heat can wear a person out. When we went toobing, I made sure I had on loads of sunblock and it worked well in most places, right? Well, I had these big dandruff looking things in my hair and finally realized my scalp had burnt and was peeling. How attractive, right? Well, dd has a burnt scalp now so I know in a few days she will be shedding like an english sheepdog just like I was! Luckily she has real blonde hair so it will not be too noticeable! Is there a sunblock for hair & scalp? Terri-I think I will start a word journal. I really miss keeping one cause it is very theraputic. I loved that link of where you are going this weekend. Looks like fun! Laura-babies are fun... Especially when you can bring them back to their mom. lol But seriously, I know what you mean about the yearning to have one. Good luck! You will be a great momma! Then you will have an internal clock and wake up early like me Jane-sorry to hear about what you are going through. I wish I were there to give you a big hug! Jennifer...we miss you!! Kat-what a great NSV! I LOVE IT! Tracy-how was the meatloaf? Haydee-how was Galveston? Suzie-If we had a deck I would probably live outside! I need to get my butt in gear. Have a great day everyone! Hi Judy, Pamela and Michelle!! (if I missed someone I am sorry)

I dunno why but this sounded like the "time to make the do-nuts" commercial from years ago. I am weird, I know! We had a blast at moms. It was definitely pool weather here today. Terri-yeah, Newfield is a big one. And the usual, Exxon, Shell, Applied Drilling, Anadarko, Chevron and BP. Things just go ballistic around our office when a storm enters the gulf. An A/R nightmare! The back to back Katrina and Rita liked to have put me in an early grave:cursing: I wish we were all sitting on the back porch in Gruene with a drink. I really would like to talk to all of you again! I have so much on my mind. I used to keep a diary and then found out that having those things around can be dangerous. Then there are blogs but I can't do that either. yikes..dh is home..gotta go. Have a great evening violets!!!

Terri-love the pics! You look fantastic. Your son looks younger than your daughter. When was the graduation, Saturday? I heard something on the news and it freaked me out. I knew it already but I guess hearing it on the morning news really triggered something in me. If a hurricane does any damage to the oil platforms in the Gulf this year, gas prices will just about double. EEK! That is freaky. Have a great day everyone. I will check back in when we get home from moms.

Hi Violets-what a relaxing day! I put a roast in the crock pot this morning then I laid around like a slug and read my book for a while then went shopping. Mom called and said that we are invited to her house tomorrow to go swimming. WOOHOOO! I love pools now as opposed to before when I had a phobia of them! Kat-I am glad the card made it to you. I thought it was cute. How is Kinsey coping with not being with you as much as usual? Have a great evening everyone!

Good morning everyone!

AWWWW,,,,poor little guy!!!
